Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The deep scoping method incorporates the use of a gene bank together with different population layers to reintroduce genetic variation into the breeding population, thus maximizing the long-term genetic gain without reducing the short-term genetic gain or increasing the total financial cost. Genomic prediction is often combined with truncation selection to identify superior parental individuals that...
